# Newcastle Shutters

> The independent plantation-shutter guide for Newcastle & the Hunter (NSW, Australia).
> Decision-led: we recommend the right material (basswood / PVC / aluminium), louvre
> width (63/89/114 mm) and tilt (front / hidden) for each room, with the reason attached,
> then a local provider working with us handles the free in-home measure and install.
> No prices are published: every window is made to measure, so the quote follows a free
> on-site measure. Contact is by enquiry form only.
> Some images are illustrative (stock or generated); tools and figures are general
> guidance, not a quote. We may share your enquiry with a suitable local provider to
> service your request. Details: /privacy/ and /terms/.
